Is it basically 2 bike engines? It revs to 11kish and has around 110lb's of torque. Very light though isn't it. You wouldn't need an engine crane.<br>

Yeah, like its two bike engines welded together...sound familiar?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> but in this case I think its closer to the truth. I saw it at the Motorsport show two years ago in its development form; unbelievably small and it only weighs 3/4 of me! I think the timing cover spoils it though, the one I saw was laid bare and I thought was one of the prettiest engines I've ever seen...<br>
<br>
Go on Phil...go on, you know you want to...

The featherweight v8 does look nice, bet it's not featherweight on the wallet tho. Wonder if it'd fit under the bonnet of a spit? Wonder if those useless nerks managed to pull the right 6 balls out of the bucket this week...<br>
<br>
There a chap at the Gatwick area CT meet most months who has stuck a rover v8 in his 2000. Less grease and shoehorns required but any use? Next meet 03 Oct, see thread in meetings and events.<br>

Definitely an engine for a sub 900 kilo car I would say.<br>
<br>
I tell you what Alun, you just made me think of something rather revolutionary. Why don't I weld two 1500 engines together together and make a V8 Stag engine?

Good man! I don't think you will regret it. Keep an eye on the Cerbera and TVR forum on <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/default1.htm" target="top">www.pistonheads.co.uk/default1.htm</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>
There are quite a few people active in the tuning side of stuff and they have been very helpful with advice I needed.<br>

Excellent! I'll still be sorry to see the stagomite die. Still, at least it's giving it's life for something (warning, understatement ahead) interesting. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

One last try, why not get <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-Dolomite- ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> and wait for a freebie rustbucket to show up? I mean, it does grow on trees doesn't it?<br>

Thanks Scott.<br>
<br>
I was expecting he's a NUTTER but it's close.<br>
<br>
Collecting the AJP next Saturday so will still be in the boot on Sunday (Stoneleigh) if you'll like to pass comment's.<br>
We could even put it on the Club stand and ask the public what they think?.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm going to find it a challenge changing it all over let alone a starting with another Bodyshell.<br>
It would be so much easier at the old house Twin Double garage heating lighting ETC rather than the Lock up and drive I have now.<br>
Still That's life.<br>

The guy who replied with the username 'trackcar' is very helpful. He is Joo of Joospeed or track car solutions. He's been working on Cerberas since day 1 so knows his stuff. Plus he seems to like Dollies. He's just had made some decat pipes made with a link pipe similar to the stag set-up as well.<br>
